Browlift Surgery in Lone Tree, CO
A heavy or sagging brow can make you look tired or older than you feel. Dr. Tanya Atagi, a board-certified plastic surgeon serving Lone Tree and the Denver area, uses advanced surgical techniques to lift and reposition the brow, creating a more refreshed, youthful appearance that looks completely natural.
When Your Brow Changes Your Expression
Your brow position naturally shifts with age, but the changes often happen so gradually that you might not notice them until you catch yourself looking perpetually tired or concerned in photos.
The muscles that lift your eyebrows weaken over time, while the skin and underlying tissues lose their elasticity. Gravity pulls everything downward, causing the outer portions of your brows to droop and creating excess skin that can hood your upper eyelids. This creates a cycle where you unconsciously activate your forehead muscles to raise your eyebrows to fully open your eyes, leading to horizontal forehead lines that deepen over time, potential tension headaches, reduction in peripheral vision, impact on night vision, and potentially postural changes.
Surgical and Non-Surgical Techniques
- Endoscopic Technique
Uses tiny incisions hidden within the hairline to lift and reposition the brow muscles and tissues with minimal scarring. - Temporal Approach
A more targeted option for patients needing correction focused on the outer brow and temple area. - Coronal Approach
Recommended for patients who need more comprehensive correction across the full brow and forehead. - FaceTite radiofrequency
Minimally invasive forehead tightening. - Ultherapy
Noninvasive forehead skin tightening.
Dr. Atagi chooses the approach that best suits your facial anatomy and goals, carefully releasing the muscles that pull the brow downward, repositioning the brow to a more youthful height and arch, tightening, and removing any excess skin or employing minimally and non-invasive procedures when appropriate. The goal is restoring your brow to where it naturally belonged in your younger years, not creating an artificial or surprised appearance.
Who Benefits from Browlift Surgery
The best candidates for browlift surgery are those who notice specific changes in their upper face that bother them consistently.
You may be a good candidate if you notice:
- Brow position has dropped below the bony ridge above your eyes
- Upper eyelids appear hooded due to sagging brow skin
- Forehead lines have deepened from constantly lifting your eyebrows
- Outer corners of your eyebrows point downward
- You look tired or angry when your face is at rest
Good candidates are also in good overall health and have realistic expectations about results.

What to Expect During Your Browlift
Consultation
Dr. Atagi evaluates your facial structure, discusses your concerns, and explains which surgical technique will achieve your goals most effectively, taking time to show you what results you can realistically expect.
Treatment
Browlift surgery is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility, typically taking one and a half to two hours depending on the technique used. Most patients go home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions. Non- or minimally invasive techniques such as FaceTite or Ultherapy are performed in the office with topical or local anesthetic and/or light sedation by mouth as needed.
Aftercare
Surgical patients will experience some swelling and possibly some bruising for the first week, with most people returning to work within 7-10 days. The incisions heal quickly since they’re hidden in your hairline. The non- or minimally invasive techniques see patients often returning to work the next day or soon thereafter.
Results
You are likely to see immediate improvement following surgery. With non- and minimally invasive procedures, you will start seeing your refreshed appearance emerge as swelling subsides and the face begins collagen production, with full results developing over several months to a year as the skin completes its collagen production and tightening.
Comprehensive Rejuvenation
Skincare
Physician-grade skincare products can be transformative in and of themselves by evening skin tone, increasing collagen production, increasing skin turnover, and decreasing pigment production.
Lasers / RF Microneedling / Peels
These impactful surface treatments can give you the hallmark of youthful skin: the fresh polish of smooth, healthy skin.
Volume Restoration
Replacing the youthful “apples in the cheeks” can relieve the tired, sagging, sallow appearance of an aging aesthetic.
Skin Tightening
Increasing the collagen content contributes to a youthful, healthy aesthetic by improving the tone and tightness of the skin.
Expert Care at Atagi Plastic Surgery & Skin Aesthetics
Dr. Tanya A. Atagi brings over two decades of surgical experience to every browlift procedure. As one of the few female board-certified plastic surgeons in the Denver area and a graduate of Stanford Medical School with fellowship training in aesthetics, she combines surgical precision with an artistic eye, ensuring your browlift enhances your natural beauty rather than creating an artificial appearance. Every procedure is performed at an accredited surgical facility with the highest safety standards.
Browlift surgery costs vary based on the specific technique used and whether it's combined with other procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Atagi will provide detailed pricing information and discuss financing options including CareCredit, Cherry, and PatientFi to make your procedure affordable.
Dr. Atagi places all incisions strategically within your hairline where they'll be completely hidden once healed. The endoscopic technique uses several tiny incisions rather than one long incision, further minimizing any potential for visible scarring.
Yes, a browlift is often combined with eyelid lifts, a facelift, volume restoration, skincare, lasers, and tightening of additional areas of the face and neck for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Atagi will discuss which combination of procedures will best achieve your aesthetic goals during your consultation.
Surgical browlift results are long-lasting, typically lasting 10-15 years or more. Non- or minimally invasive techniques likely will not last as long; however, the longevity could be several years. While you’ll continue to age naturally, your brow will maintain its improved position and you’ll always look more refreshed than if you hadn’t had the procedure. As with anything, your skin will maintain its results with good nutrition, stress and inflammation reduction, adequate sleep, and proper hormone balance.
Surgical browlifts provide long-term repositioning of sagging brow tissues and sometimes remove excess skin. Botox softens muscles to relax the brows upwards. Ultherapy and FaceTite essentially lift the brows by stimulating collagen production throughout all the thicknesses of the forehead skin, promoting a ‘shrink wrapping’ effect. Dr. Atagi will help you understand which approach will best address your specific concerns and goals.
Dr. Atagi will provide detailed pre-operative instructions during your consultation, including guidelines about medications to avoid and preparing your recovery space. Most patients need to stop certain medications and arrange for an adult caregiver to drive them home and stay with them for the first 24 hours after surgery.
